One of the most famous and fateful "perestroika" films. A report from the front, where the advancing democratic future seems to be pushing the totalitarian-communist past into oblivion.

For the non-Russian audience the shorthand, “Lonely Planet“ guide into Novgorod Life becomes the context in which the spaceship-like building and its persistent problems will be seen and measured.

They say that the average earthling spends at the TV screen about 10 years of his life. It is pointless to wonder if these are years lost. It is impossible to imagine our civilization without TV. Although 100 years have not passed since its invention. How did this global absorption by the TV air of the planet Earth and its inhabitants happen in such a short period of time on a historical scale? To what extent does it reflect social complexes, prejudices and expectations? To what extent is it a mirror of social psychology? Is the phenomenon of TV connected with the phenomenon of faith? Has it become something like a religion of the 20th century?

The Kids Grow Up chronicles Lucy’s emotionally-fraught last year at home before leaving for college. Moving seamlessly between past, present, and the fast-approaching future, Block has not only crafted a loving portrait of a girl transitioning into womanhood, but also a deeply poignant look at parenting and what it means to let go. This time of transition comes with its fair share of struggles. To his credit, Block does not shy away from these moments, nor from the humorous yet occasionally tough analysis his wife offers. The result is a personal story told with such honesty and intimacy that a singular experience unfolds into a universal tale of parenthood, marriage, and family— making this a film that fathers, mothers, sons and daughters can equally appreciate.
